I wish teams geographically close to Omaha would make it more
What do you mean by close? There aren't enough college baseball programs in the immediate vicinity of Omaha to expect a lot of appearances from schools that are "close"
Nebraska
Kansas
Kansas St
Creighton
Wichita St
Missouri
That's about it. Wichita St used to make it to Omaha all the time. Nebraska did twice with Van Horn. It's hard to recruit kids to play in cold weather states to play baseball now.
If you extend "close" to meaning 6-7 hour drives, a lot of schools close do make it and frequently, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma St, for example. Oral Roberts this year, too.

Creighton - located in Omaha - appeared in the College World Series in 1991. Brian O'Connor, the current Virginia Cavs coach, was on that team. I think the statue out front of the stadium in Omaha is of that particular Creighton team. Outside of their 91 appearance (they eventually lost to Wichita State), they've not been back.
There are only 31 teams out of D1's 299 schools that have won the CWS. Consider what an honor it is to be in that very small but successful club. Proud my MS Bulldogs are among them!
